Kwanele ukubheka ebalazweni lase-Australia ukwazi ukuthi akunakwenzeka ukuthi lesi siqhingi-izwekazi elikhulu libe nesimo sezulu esisodwa kuphela. Umuntu uvame ukucabanga ukuthi yindawo eshisayo neyomile kepha hhayi yonke i-geography yase-Australia injalo. Uma ubhekisisa kahle kunezintaba namahlathi amaningi kanti amadolobha amakhulu ahlala eseduze nogu. Ake sithi ingaphakathi lomile futhi liyashisa, ihlane, nokuthi ingxenye yesithathu yezwe inesimo sezulu esishisayo.
Ngokuyisisekelo lapho-ke singakhuluma ngezimo zezulu ezimbili: esisodwa omnene nezinye ezishisayo.

Ngaphakathi kwendawo enesimo sezulu esipholile, izinkathi zonyaka ziyafana, yize zibuyela emuva, kulezo ezisenyakatho yezwe. Ehlobo amadolobha aseningizimu afana neHobart, iMelbourne noma iSydney ashisa ngendlela eyisimanga kanti ebusika awehli ngaphansi kuka-10ºC kalula.
Ingxenye eyome kakhulu ye-Australia iningizimu, lina kuphela ogwini kanti ingaphakathi lihlala lomile futhi linothuli. Kungakho bambalwa abantu abaphila. Ingxenye esenyakatho inesimo sezulu esihlukile: alikho ihlobo noma ubusika, kepha izinkathi ezomile nezimanzi. Isikhathi semvula naso siyashisa kakhulu futhi kuyadingeka ukugwema ukufika kule nkathi ebizwa ngokuthi "ukubilisa", okuyilapho umswakama nokushisa kwanda kuze kufike okokuqala ku-100%. Uyacabanga? Isikhathi semvula siphakathi kukaDisemba noMashi kanti isikhathi esomile siphakathi kuka-Ephreli no-Agasti. Ukubilisa kuphakathi kukaSepthemba noNovemba.
